周家老宅的飯桌上，如常放滿了精緻的飯菜，傭人在後面走動添酒水，席間除了周家四人，還有李氏夫婦兩位客人。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzDoi4A2zt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfBrf4kEkc
「今天小凡不能來真可惜，我還特意吩咐傭人做了幾道他愛吃的菜呢。」方玉賢惋惜道。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7KsbIONfP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STbYw3USR
李母臉露尷尬，「就是啊⋯⋯周夫人這麽誠心誠意做的菜，是我家孩子沒口福。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzulLiFGA5c
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ctgSXbEG
「沒關係，訓練要緊，下次再吃就好。」方玉賢體諒道，又看向默不作聲吃飯的周諾寧，心裡甚是寬慰，「讓小寧到李家拜訪也可以。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZVcZHuRe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqY4DicqiJ
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4eiju9Bas
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXohH2l8rj
李母看了眼周諾寧，還是不太敢隨意跟她搭話，只說，「那、那當然好啊，我們隨時歡迎。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZadLPWREj6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvK5YgXzI
周諾寧內心冷笑了一聲，斜眼看向周子亦，壓著聲線道，「看來你只想著算計我，倒是忘了男主角也很不合作。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiiW2wmgtw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQHeYTNDye
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7KOtxSUDl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6JZ4zX7rb
周諾寧喝了一口水，看向父母那邊，方玉賢正和李氏夫婦言談甚歡，並沒注意到這裡的對話。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEauduAZVlI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wqloKJDQD
「不也就拿著一樣的東西去威脅，少得意了。」周諾寧從牙縫裡擠出這句話。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKqZMlENMv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugVQsRdOcO
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6rm3XymgS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjFyASEtdK
「對了，周董事長，」李嶽看氣氛正好，謹慎地提起，「既然現在婚事也定了⋯⋯我們甚麼時候公佈消息比較好？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkZ93bL59
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbQDrgzqp
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv3P1CfRSR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeSurqu30G
「等到賽季結束後再談吧。」剛才一直沒開口的周天權打斷，夾著菜，毫無退讓餘地，「現在並不合適。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVnbEKZmyq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelU7in9c2E
李嶽神情明顯一僵，似是沒有料到周天權如此決絕的答案，漸漸蒙上一層慍怒的顏色。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIXJ2nkG3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSeOTjHoI
這場看似是兩家人的婚事，實際上決定權只在周天權一人手上。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDiUYxAZvr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHkVP2IBpm
方玉賢趕緊出來緩頰，「對啊，現在兩個孩子正忙碌，也都沒這個精神了，等他們忙完了再辦訂婚宴也不遲。對吧李夫人？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaZeh45YBW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhJ4IsV6fY
李母看到自己丈夫的臉色，也不好附和方玉賢，但又不能甚麼都不說，尷尬道，「這⋯⋯今天小凡也不在，我們當父母的也不好替他們決定。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOFYCgr3Gd
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINddl3SyZH
方玉賢怔了怔，勉強笑道，「也對⋯⋯李夫人說的對，這事就等孩子都在再說吧。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8uBYtz3x
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtiA8SeBb
這個話題雖然就這麼結束，但目睹各人表情的周諾寧，內心的疑問卻不斷發酵。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYhI5HbdZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAji77FIliW
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4AROENIxM
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfwBa3yAwt
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhGJVtHZZT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnjujdVHEf
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSbIOSuX6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlBya1NEdO
飯後，李氏夫婦並沒久留，周天權讓周子亦跟著他去書房一趟，方玉賢則硬是拉著周諾寧去她以前住的房間，說有禮物要給她。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUlWwtd3Yq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8lzhklWtI
周諾寧嘆了一口氣，也不想現在離開跟李氏夫婦碰上，只能不耐煩地鬆開方玉賢的手，往自己的房間走。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOzlHyXZp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXMqKTsdNO
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti1Rx5MpWN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpE89rC7LV
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9GytUsn2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH5XYahkoI
淡粉紅的牆紙，歐陸風的傢俱，充滿溫暖和愛的氣息，原封不動，一塵不染，一如她十二歲離開時的那個樣子。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1QJgMZkoW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVAU7XZlzN
但在她的記憶之中，這個房間代表著她最軟弱無力的時期，陰暗的角落裡似乎還殘留著她瑟瑟發抖的幼小身影。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAocHTZjhL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx55rgE7Sz
心情一下就變得極糟。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPi4mcdUjW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPL1DkMMS
「來阿寧，過來坐。」方玉賢拉著她在床邊坐下，身側有一個禮物盒，「這是媽給你買的⋯⋯訂婚禮物。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPrzF3VVtG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowLiIT1XAY
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRQ3sQIdjg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nrfi3xhn
周諾寧沒有甚麼表情地接過，機械式地慢慢打開，映入一片乾淨無染的顏色，讓她的眼眸輕輕一撞。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkGvBWSIoa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4P8vCB9XI
那是一件白色小禮服，胸前和衣袖的布料都用上了繡工精緻的蕾絲，搭配柔順的純白布料，跟周諾寧清冷的氣息十分相襯。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdavf1uEpNH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u7147tnBY
「雖然⋯⋯你跟阿凡還沒那麼快訂婚，但是媽還是想提早送你這個禮物。」方玉賢很是喜歡自己挑的禮物，微微笑著，「不然也不知道你下次甚麼時候再回來了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqB3SiGeq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqzEUXnaeQ
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NucoXqXfP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVmD3nfgc
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZp3NZiL1d
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIuZMiHcis
「如果⋯⋯」她不自覺就脫口而出，「我想嫁的人不是李與凡⋯⋯你會幫我嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn98kL11XaR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4kXakrjn
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvhODuJpL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqjWJhlpJS
「不行，我當然知道。」周諾寧很快清醒過來，自嘲一笑，「也對，有哪一次你會站在我這邊。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacSERfeP6f
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwbg31FtpR
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4mJmRIUiN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqo03kZi1
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDo5vaDOHz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVnQZwUCAP
「反正我的人生，從來不會有一次讓我自己決定。」周諾寧的手掌撫摸過布料，沒有感情道，「因為我的父親，是一個為了不讓人知道他的女兒不會說話，就把女兒當成兒子來養的人。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZPFh4bV3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewonilFUQ
「當然不是⋯⋯！阿寧你⋯⋯你怎麼會這麼想的！」方玉賢震驚地說，「這都是因為你父親擔心你受傷害，所以才⋯⋯！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4BdAaAKbL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrmteiIY7
「擔心？」周諾寧冷笑，受夠方玉賢無盡的謊言了，「所以就把五歲的小孩送去接受軍訓？不過是不會說話，又不是不會打架。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeslMmNv5R
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZR6SjWtWU
「那是⋯⋯！那時候你⋯⋯！」方玉賢乾著急，卻有口難言，只能懇切道，「阿寧⋯⋯我知道你父親一直都對你很苛刻，讓你受了很多煎熬⋯⋯可是⋯⋯他做的一切，都是希望你能擁有保護好自己的能力，不會再陷入痛苦之中啊⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0eJSFfgp8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxs9u1MZm7
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEV28UViW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTFBtOJVSu
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZO0a69aaZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtulUP5QOyF
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7MsfY2ZNm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkOpSfwD4W
另一邊，周天權的書房。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO71q5O1h3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfh7BWZSpJ
周子亦關上書房門，走到書桌前，周天權已經坐下，準備翻閱文件。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnm2Zlec2I
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL9U3Re8hR
「爸。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOhdmwR6vG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTualzMwz4N
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzVsYh3EZj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHanPUiXbU
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Wf5ZW6Zn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWzHlrlhIa
「你用來威脅阿寧的東西。」周天權繼續翻過紙張，臉色穩如泰山，「別讓我說第二次。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lqU4ctm0p
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p5KciajkE
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufbshqyx2d
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFMVD3WX7
「我的孩子，我還不了解麽。」周天權的眼神始終停留在紙張上，全然不需要看周子亦甚麼表情，「除非拿捏住她最珍視的東西，否則她誰的話也不會聽。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtK25Rczuo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytdi76I81
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WXfygGcw6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaXVwl4YHy
「藉這個機會讓阿寧遠離那些低下的東西，是我樂見的事。」周天權無情說道，「只不過，這不等於我會讓你遵守跟她之間的約定。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQSRGM6Nlw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSooHZQziG
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvf9a7I6Yv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurSDN9HOnw
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT24VbfLBU
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA5fPNFTG6
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPvI8WYaUm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJayBVKDH
「封鎖好消息，別讓外界知道跟李家聯姻的事。」周天權吩咐道，「我已經在跟中川家接觸了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwSr9TCqjX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FlDN54lmP
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXOb5KMTWj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQKfI92JZ
「如果你執意保住那個女人，那就聽我說的，別讓阿寧跟你走一樣的歪路！」周天權厲聲道，「一樣的髒水，我不可能讓你們兩兄妹都掉進去！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk9k5gW5qY
